Things To Do
Windy Hill is a fantastic area of North Myrtle Beach because it is close to the quieter residential neighborhoods of North Myrtle Beach, yet only minutes from the nightlife and amusements of Myrtle Beach. Windy Hill is an ideal destination for families and couples alike.
The Beach
North Myrtle Beach is a very family-friendly beach. There are numerous entrances for the public to access the beach and all oceanfront condominiums have private beach access for their guests. You will appreciate the convenience of your oceanfront condominium when you want to run from the beach back up to your vacation rental to grab a snack. The wide beaches of Windy Hill offer plenty of room for families to spread out and enjoy the Carolina sunshine.
Water Sports
Just north of Windy Hill is Cherry Grove, a unique area in North Myrtle Beach with access to a salt water marsh. Locals and visitors alike enjoy fishing, kayaking, paddleboarding and boating through the inlet. There are plenty of charter fishing tours, casino boats and water sport instructors who would be happy to teach you more about the area and how to make the most of your inlet experience.
If you prefer to spend your time in the ocean, you may want to rent a jet ski or try parasailing. Perhaps you would like to take up surfing – local instructors will have you standing up on your board in no time. A popular attraction in Cherry Grove is the fishing pier at the Prince Resort.
